Non political revolution (CRR)
A non political revolution can be defined as a revolution that is not political. There were many non political revolutions that have changed societies. These revolutions had a variety of complex causes and had great impact on peoples lives. One of the many non political revolutions was the Industrial Revolution. One change that this revolution had on its society was that all of the work done by hand is now mainly done by machines.
The Industrial Revolution began in England in the early 18th century. Before the Industrial Revolution people lived on farms, hand crafted goods were made at home, everything were power supplied by humans and animals which is also known as agricultural lifestyle. After the Industrial Revolution people moved away from farms and began to move to cities, machines produce goods in factories, steam and water were used as power. This revolution changed the society by Creating other classes other than the “rich” and the poor” but the middle class which most of the majority were. Before the revolution began children did not go to school because they were poor.
Another non political Revolution was the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution was an offshoot of the Renaissance in which scientists questioned traditional beliefs about the workings of the universe. One of the main ideas to come out of the Scientific Revolution was the use of the Scientific Method. Before the Revolution it was a medieval mindset everyone believed in the high authority (church) people saw the world in a highly structured, orderly way, which corresponded directly to social hierarchy. For example hell is supposed to be in the hot core of the earth and heaven is suppose to be above so peaceful and calm. After the revolution With Copernicus's new heliocentric cosmology, the "special status" of the earth faded, and people realized that we are simply one planet among many. This allowed people to question the authority of the Catholic Church on doctrinal and social norms, and helped to justify religious revolution.
In conclusion both of the these non political revolutions changed society they even make connections to today’s society. Also these revolution may have influenced others and changed people’s way of life and thinking.
